Your mind is a car, a car in the vastness of the universe, slowly going down the road which connects thought upon thought and you glance at your hands as they grasp the steering wheel, wondering if you are fit to master the curves of creativity, to weather the rocky roads of prose, to order a cool glass of beer at the roadhouse of inspiration no wait a second you can't order a beer you're driving you're test driving your mind car drunk what have you done WHAT HAVE YOU DONE THIS IS THE MIND POLICE SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY YOU ARE UNDER ARREST I SAID SLOW DOWN THIS IS--

mansion

[The smell of gasoline takes him back like nothing else.]

[It's a slick, acidic cling to his nostrils and the back of his throat, painting his insides in a symphony of reds and oranges; the way his house lit up like a beacon, and the way he knew that every instrument within would be nothing, nothing, nothing but ash. A stupid thing to get upset over. Having lost his house, having lost everything, having been stripped of every safehouse, every retreat, every backdrawn mark - and he gets upset over some damn instruments.]

[He's past remorse. He's past sympathy, waving a knife in front of a camera. He's even past the white-hot rage that licked at his guts.]

[He's just tired.]

[And he speaks slowly, almost dully, the words wry and weary.]


That won't work here, you know.

[Tim. Alex turns slowly, still letting the gasoline drip from the tank.]

And how would you know that? Have you tried?
postictal: (light em up up up | smoking)

[personal profile] postictal 2017-12-14 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn’t rush him. Doesn’t charge. Doesn’t yell. Just stands there and lets the gas leak out onto the carpet, and sneer. Tim debates drawing out a lighter and sparking a cigarette, just to prove it. Then again...]

[(What’s the last thing he remembers?)]


You could say that.
filmmajor: (7KNstWv)

[personal profile] filmmajor 2017-12-15 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
If you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it.

[Yep, still pouring gasoline.]
postictal: (u like eating so much??? eat shit)

[personal profile] postictal 2017-12-16 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Put the gas can down before someone else decides that you're a bigger threat than I have.

[Right now the only risk Alex poses, other than the obvious risk he poses to himself pretty much by default, is the fact that he might learn that Jay's here. Or the fact that he might elect to finish what he started, where Tim is concerned. Can he even remember that?]

[It's impossible to tell, the last thing he might remember. It's not like he's what you'd call a reliable narrator either, now, is he?]
filmmajor: (UETz1EI)

[personal profile] filmmajor 2017-12-18 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not half the threat you are.

[Does he know? Tim's being pretty calm about all of this, which is... surprising. Alex would expect Tim to be a little more... thrown by all of this. He needs to figure out what Tim knows.]
postictal: (that boy needs sLEEP)

1/2

[personal profile] postictal 2017-12-18 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[He knows that. Does he think he doesn't know that?]

[Does he think it doesn't grind into him every second of every day, how much he puts everyone at risk just by virtue of being here? Does he think he doesn't understand full fucking well, the weight of what he is and what he does and the fact that there's no escaping or erasing what he's capable of?]

[Does he think he doesn't care?]
postictal: (did i leave the stove on)

2/2

[personal profile] postictal 2017-12-18 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[...no.]

[Not doing this here, and not doing this now. He can self-flagellate some other time, can't he? Got plenty of room for it, on top of everything else.]


But I'm not the one looking about ready to burn the mansion down, am I? [says Tim, his tone deceptively level.] We're not the only ones here, Alex.

[ We were never the only ones. ]
filmmajor: (PQaVKL7)

[personal profile] filmmajor 2017-12-21 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't make it better!

[More people at risk. Especially since Tim and Jay have been here how long?

He should set fire to the place right now. He should burn the entire place down so that no one can escape and continue to spread.]


How many of them know, Tim?

[Or he can just keep arguing. It's not like the gasoline is going anywhere.]
postictal: (till i am blissful)

[personal profile] postictal 2017-12-21 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
More than I meant to know. Trust me on that one.

[He doesn't sound panicked, or afraid, or...anything. He's just exhausted. Exhausted with ANOTHER FAILURE, with every person he drew into his web, like it or not.]

Alex, we can't die here. There's no point.
filmmajor: (5w3tSbs)

[personal profile] filmmajor 2017-12-21 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't know until you try, can you?

[Alex, it turns out, can do a lot of things he didn't think he was capable of. He can kill an innocent. He can give up on his film career. He can entirely lose hold of everything that used to be important to him.]
postictal: (where there is no light)

[personal profile] postictal 2017-12-21 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tim actually laughs at that one. It’s short and barking and utterly mirthless, and it feels ripped from the hollow of his chest.]

Oh, so you think I haven’t tried?
filmmajor: (UETz1EI)

[personal profile] filmmajor 2017-12-27 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Not effectively. [Clearly, since everything's still standing.]
postictal: (linefaces aggressively)

[personal profile] postictal 2017-12-27 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You’re in Wonderland, buddy. Whatever rules you think apply? Rethink them.
